I'm eating, how about you? Thursday edition

Afternoon to all...

prayers to all who are struggling..my eats yesterday and today have been awful....

  I'm back on mostly shakes and mushy food..tummy trouble again..
  Breakfast this morning was 2 small cups of BARIUM!!!  YUCK !!!

  Since then I've had a slice of cheese and a slice of roast beef deli meat..and a few crackers. 

  Now I'm concentrating on water.
  Hope to be better tomorrow...

Marcy,
I did that barium a 2 weeks ago for my catscan...sits like a brick in our tummy for awhile.
Keep flushing your system out my friend!!
Tomorrow will be a better day but be sure to continue to drink tha****er tomorrow.

Me...I'll be doing Atkin shakes to see if I feel better too! Hugs Debbie

Thanks Debbiejean...I'm really trying to get the water in, however, thats been one of my complaints..water hurts.  But I keep drinking.

Hopefully this test will show them whats been giving me problems for about a month or so.  If not, next week is an endoscopy and I may suggest they do a colonoscopy too !!!!  I just tell them, find it and FIX it.  :)

  Hope my surgeon likes me a lot !!!
  He has a new surgeon working with him...I met him or should I say introduced myself to him this morning.  OOOOO is he ccccuuuuttteee!
  Tall, dark hair and a voice like melted buttah..then he asked me if I had had my xrays yet...  :o  
  Imagine my surprise that he knew who I was !!!

Ahhhh Deb, the dreaded Halloween candy, followed by the Holiday candy, followed by the sugar addiction. I so wished I dumped...but alas, it takes a lot of sugar for that to happen. It is my drug of choice, but I've found that keeping sugar free gum around helps a lot. I can't chew it after it loses it's falvor, so I only go at it for a little bit and then it's gone. But, by then I'm over my "need" for sweet.

Yes, you are one determinded lady, you'll see that size 8 again!

Oh yeah...and I don't dump anymore either.
Halloween candy...followed by Thanksgiving...followed by all those Christmas Parties! Then comes New Years!
Gotta get a handle on things right now!

I'm not a gum chewer...flash back from going to Catholic school and the nun****ting our hands with a ruler on the knuckles if we were caught chewing gum. Tough nuns they were! LOL
I do have a pack of SF gum now in my drawer in case I need the taste of sweets. Will see if that helps! Hugs Susan...I will get where I want to be again...in time.

I'm seroiusly considering doing hypnosis again (did it 30+ yrs ago and lost 100 lbs) to get rid of these nasty habits that are creeping back into my life. I figure it's cheaper than buying another whole new wardrobe!

Hey if hypnosis works for you do it!! One lady was on the news here in Michigan that did hypnosis...they told her she had bariatric surgery and her tummy was now a size of an egg and she lost 130 pounds! I say do it!!

Hi Susan,
I got my first CD from the psychologist today for weight loss hypnosis.  There are 4 CDs I have to work through in four weeks.  I'm hoping it will help me.

Hi Susan,
Here is yesterdays menu:
B - English Muffin with TBS peanut butter
L - Lean Cuisine Spinach and Cheese Ravioli
S - Cheetos - oops
S - Hand full of Pistachios
D - Chicken with broccoli
S - Small banana
S - Peaches
Still managed to stay under 1200 calories even though the choices weren't wise.  I can feel things shrinking because of the reduced calories.  I become fuller faster.  Getting in my protein and fluids so that is good.  Pills are becoming a real problem for me.  I dread when it's time to take them.
Planned out today so I'll see how it goes the rest of the day.
Thanks,
Bev

What's going on with the pills?
